:36:00
His wants are so few.
:36:02
Even a common soldier
would've knocked.

:36:04
I did.
:36:06
I almost broke the door down,
but you didn't hear me.

:36:10
You were evidently absorbed in the
sublime effects of the spring moon

:36:15
upon my people.
:36:17
What do you want?
:36:19
In my province, this is
called a cherry-blossom moon.

:36:23
It's a time when young and old,
rich and poor, sick and sound

:36:28
pay their homage
to the god of love.

:36:30
You think you can wear
me down, don't you?

:36:32
But you can't. Do you
hear me? You can't.

:36:36
Oh, please let me go.
I can't stand this any longer.

:36:40
Please send me
back to my friends.

:36:42
But I have told you:
The country's in state of war.

:36:46
If anything should
happen to you,

:36:49
I have to answer to Dr. Strike.
:36:58
How long will it be?
:37:02
I don't know.
:37:04
Maybe a week,
maybe a month.

:37:06
Maybe even longer.
:37:08
But I will do everything I can
to make your visit pleasant.

:37:12
If you would only relax and
let me improve our acquaintance.

:37:21
It's pretty hard to become
acquainted with a man

:37:23
who ruthlessly slaughters
helpless prisoners in one move,

:37:26
and in the next shows such a tender
reverence for the beauty of the moon.

:37:30
You have the true
missionary spirit.

:37:34
Really, Miss Davis,
:37:36
there are times when
I would like to laugh at you.

:37:41
But there are also times
when I find you admirable.

:37:49
There are also
moments when I...

:37:53
Perhaps I shouldn't
speak of them.

:37:56
I might astound you.
:37:59
Perhaps you believe us
incapable of such moments.
